Line 145:
* ''[[Sports Center]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1979|09}}: Celebrated its 30th anniversary September 7, 2009; runs for at least two hours every day {the latter of which is repeated throughout the following morning}, and quite a bit more as of August 2008. According to [[The Other Wiki]], it stands above 31,000+ episodes, usually 60 or 90 minutes each.
* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1975}}: Multiple series, spanning at least 1975-1977, 1979–Present<ref>''[[Himitsu Sentai Goranger]]'' and ''[[JAKQ Dengekitai]]'' were not originally considered part of the franchise and were only retroactively recognized in years later.</ref> Whether it counts depends on the definition of a "show", since each year the program in the time slot is set in a different [[The Verse|world]] with a different team of superheroes (or "rangers") in color-coded uniforms who ride giant transforming and combining robots. It does have a series of crossover films between different teams set outside the television continuity (the ''Super Sentai Versus Series'') and the [[Milestone Celebration|35th series]], ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'', was a ''year-long'' crossover involving all the previous teams. If you count it, it's the longest running sci-fi program in the world just by number of years, and the fact that it airs an episode a week with no Summer break (nearly 1,800 episodes and counting) means it vastly exceeds most rivals' lengths in total airtime, including ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
* ''This Old House'' – {{Years or months ago|1980}}: PBS home improvement show, airing since 1980. Originally hosted by Bob Vila. Its spinoff program ''The New Yankee Workshop'' had a 20-year run in its own right, 1989-09.
* ''This Week in Baseball'' – {{Years or months ago|1977}}: (in syndication 1977-1998, on FOX 2000-present)
* ''[[Top Gear]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1977}}: 1977-2001, 2002–Present; if you include ''Wheelbase'', ''[[Top Gear]]'' has been running in one form or another since 1964.
Line 188:
== At least 20 years ==
* ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' – 26 years: The manga ran from 1988 to 2014.
* ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1990}}: (original pilot aired in November 1989, launched January 1990. From 1999-2000, it ran only as occasional specials, but the Tom Bergeron-hosted revamp returned it to series status)
* ''[[America's Most Wanted]]''
* ''At the Movies''
** If one counts their 1975-82 tenure on ''Opening Soon at a Theater Near You''/''Sneak Previews'' (which ran for another 14 years after they left for a total run of 21 years) and their 1982-86 stint on the original ''At the Movies'', Siskel and Ebert were co-presenting film review programs for 24 years.
* ''Australia's Funniest Home Videos''
* ''[[Barney and Friends]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1992}}: The first videos came out in 1987
* ''[[Bastard!!]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1988}}: First volume published in 1988 (with a one-shot pilot in 1987 titled ''Wizard!!''). It was serialized irregularly by ''Weekly Jump'' before switching to ''Ultra Jump'' in 2000 (with a seven-year hiatus between 2001 and 2008) and as a result, only a relatively small set of 26 volumes have been published.
* ''[[BattleTech]]''
* ''[[Berserk]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1990}}: First volume published in 1990 (with a one-shot pilot in 1989), and has been serialized in ''Young Animal'' since 1992. However, it's only published bimonthly, so it has the comparatively-small 33 volumes. However, the anime was only 25 episodes and only lasted half a year; the fact that it went through 13 volumes of story in that time is telling as to why. <!-- Should this be in [[Print Long Runners]]? -->
* ''[[The Bill]]''
* ''The Bold and the Beautiful'' – {{Years or months ago|1987}}: (1987-)
* ''Brookside''
* ''[[Casualty]]''

* ''[[COPS (series)|COPS]]''
* ''[[Countdown]]'' – {{Years or months ago|1982}}: (Britain; the first program on Channel 4, started in '82, 5000+ episodes)
* ''Crossroads''
